A tricky little addition

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,


If I  have a variety of submit buttons all called 'add' but with different 
vaues, (food types fish, pork, beef  )

I want to feed this into a function to increment the corresponfding cookies 
value by 1. This is what I have so far

if (isset($add)){
$variable= "$".$add;
echo "the variable is".$variable;
$variable = intval($_COOKIE['cookie']['$add']);
echo $variable;
$variable++;
setcookie("cookie[$add]", "$fish fish");
echo var_dump($_COOKIE['cookie']['fish']);

}

So if add = "fish", I need to make a variable  $fish and then retrieve the 
current value of fish from the cookie using the var_dump function.

$variable= "$".$add;
echo "the variable is".$variable;
$variable = intval($_COOKIE['cookie']['$add']);


The problem is in these three lines. I need to make an on-the-fly vairable 
based on the button that has been pressed.

I hope this makes sense,

Any other suggestions would be appreciated


R.
